-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Erik Jacobson On ia64, the various functions that make up cn_proc.c cause kernel unaligned access errors. If you are using these, for example, to get notification about all tasks forking and exiting, you get multiple unaligned access errors per process. Use put_unaligned() in the appropriate palces to fix this. Signed-off-by: Erik Jacobson Cc: Evgeniy Polyakov Cc: Tony Luck Cc: Cc: "David S.
